"I've been using Field Notes notebooks for years; their size is perfect for slipping into a pocket, and I love that they lay flat. But there's just something special about a reporter's notebook, and Field Notes elevates the form with a design it calls Front Page. It's long and thin - still a good size for slipping into a coat or the back pocket of a pair of jeans, spiral bound, easy to write on while just holding it in one hand,"
"First published in 1968, it's McCullough's debut and was sparked by him encountering, as a young journalist, archival photos captured immediately post-flood. McCullough built on a propulsive but largely forgotten story - about a booming steel town, negligence by members-only summer club patronized by the likes of Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon, and a burst dam that killed thousands - by conducting interviews with survivors."
A long, thin, spiral-bound Front Page reporter's notebook fits in a coat or back pocket, lays flat, and is easy to write on while held in one hand; it includes a rear pocket and sells two to a pack for $16.95. The Johnstown Flood (1968) recounts a catastrophic dam failure, negligence by an exclusive summer club, and thousands of deaths, reconstructed through archival photos and interviews with survivors; paperback priced at $18.99. Spy the Lie, authored by former CIA officers, offers practical, example-rich techniques for detecting deception, with some material specific to law enforcement or intelligence tradecraft but many applications for everyday interviewing.
